Comprehensive treatment of pyelonephritis using intravenous laser therapy

Abstract

In spite of the significant prevalence of chronic pyelonephritis, a life-time diagnosis has been established in only 15 – 30% of patients. This is related to the asymptomatic and unclear clinical expression of the disease. In a significant number of patients, chronic pyelonephritis develops due to the presence of factors, which disrupt the passage of urine in the upper urinary tracts (Kidney stones and ureterolithiasis, constriction/narrowing of the upper urinary tracts, chronic urine retention in the urinary bladder etc.). In a third (1/3) of chronic pyelonephritic patients, the disease develops as a sub-acute non-specific inflammation of the parenchyma of the kidneys as well as the pelvicalyceal system (renal collecting system), and as a rule, starting from childhood age. In most cases of such patients, the disease is detected many years later after it started. When you are citing the document, use the following link http://essuir.sumdu.edu.ua/handle/123456789/35759
